Modern Warfare 3 General Manager Not Impressed By Battlefield Franchise

4.4
The developers behind Modern Warfare 3 may have 99 problems but Battlefield 3 ain’t one. Glen Schofield, general manager of MW3 co-developer Sledgehammer Games, has been singing the praises of their own military shooter as the release date for rival Battlefield 3 is just a week away. To douse the flames of excitement for Battlefield 3, Schofield made it clear that he does not see the title as a threat to his company. “Let’s just say that I still use Modern Warfare 2 as my competitor. I need to make sure that the millions of people that played Modern Warfare 2 will pick up this game, notice that it’s better, notice that it’s bigger, that there’s more in it, that there’s more polish, all that stuff. That’s what I’m concerned with – this community.”

Schofield claims that he had not heard of the Battlefield franchise until “five or six months ago,” when Battlefield 3′s marketing campaign began to build up steam. Throughout the summer, EA has been showcasing the capabilities of its stunning new Frost Engine that has shown graphic superiority to Call of Duty‘s latest games. After a confusing explanation of how game engines can be like a Porsche or spaghetti, Schofield appeared fed up with the comparisons, “I’ve said this before – I’m not shipping an engine, I’m shipping a game. So that’s why I’m going to talk about the game. You can talk about your engine all you want. It’s not fun.”
When asked about the lack of a MW3 beta, Schofield sidestepped the question. “Someone asked me that the other day. This game is so big between the campaign, the Spec-Ops and the multiplayer, there was so much work to do that I don’t know whether it hit anyone’s mind or not. We had XP and XP was in itself a way for 1,000s of people to play the game and for us to look over their shoulder and see how they were doing and how they liked it and that was really good.”

It's funny because I have 99 problems.... And they all *******


And it's funny because IW is their own competition. They could care less about bf3 it seems. Which is the complete opposite for bf3. All they care about is making it look better than CoD. Which it entirely may be, but they don't have a big enough fan base to support them. When your competition is going to out sell you by millions you shouldn't be going around saying stuff like that because then your company looks like an ass

Sure, I personally like BF over CoD, but im not saying either is the 'better' game. It all comes down to how you play. CoD is for people who like going lone wolf on small maps, and BF is for people who like working as a team in massive battles on large maps.
on a side note, all of you that are saying someone stole somthing from whoever else, grow up; theres only so different these kinds of games can be, and they ARE about as different as they could be without one being in space.

Meh. Call of Duty left me at Mw2. It was a good game but had major issues (modding). Ill stick with GoW, Halo, and Battlefield for my main shooters.

ASUPosted:

Personally, I thaught battle grime had its pros and cons, but I really beloved that in mw3 the pros will out weight the cons by far...

Letsgooutside Lol if it wasnt for battlefield there wouldnt be a call of duty. He can gtfo


And if it wasnt for Medalof Honor their wouldnt be a battlefield. Actually there would, just like how if their wasnt a BF their would still be a COD. Don't be ignorant lmao. Don't try and act like BF3 didnt take ideas from COD games.

What ideas has Battlefield taken from CoD?


Have you played BFBC1, BFBC2, or the BF3. Im not even going to answer your question. Its obvious they took things from COD that made COD a successful franchise.

Its obvious they took some things from COD, and if you can't see what they took from COD, then you aren't too bright.

Hmm Battlefield 1942-September 10, 2002
Call Of Duty-October 29, 2003 who copied who in first person shooters. Anyways every game has copied pong by using a controller.


Hmm
Medal of Honor - November 11, 1999
Battlefield 1942-September 10, 2002
Call Of Duty-October 29, 2003

How much do you expect war fps games to change from each other?

And wasnt it made by EA too?


Lol, you don't even know the difference between developers and publishers.

I do, I just like saying irrelevant things.


Correction; You say dumbasss things, you are then proven wrong, which makes you look stupid, so you pretend as if you're doing it on purpose, when you're clearly not.

and halo was the first to bring a good fps to console so they both are kinda stolen, bottom line battlefield says they are gonna beat cod every release and guess what they dont. i wish battlefield fanboys would shut up about how awesome they think they are but we all know that talk is going to continue even after cod destroys bf in sales

Lol
Oasis Yeah let's all rage over unreleased games like real men.

Here's a tip to all you below - shut up.

Buy the games you like, enjoy them let that be the end of it. If you want to **** over which dev/publisher is the best please do it alone and crying into your pillow case. Leave it off TTG!
